Cheery Chickadee

A cheerful little chickadee getting some lunch. His lower feathers are so soft that they look like fur.
We are not seeing many birds other than the chickadees this year, so their bright song is very welcome.

It was challenging to get some photos of the birds as they are so quick to pick up a seed and then fly off, and the shutter on my camera isn't super fast.

They were also sneaky about grabbing the seed from the far side of the feeder where they were out of view.
